Chinchillas NEED cold temps. They have very thick furry coats and can not sweat to loose heat so anything over 75 degrees Fahrenheit will make them upset and can die. Best to keep them in basements (cold rooms) or air conditioned rooms. If it is very hot out you can freeze a plastic bottle and they will sit on it to cool off.

∙ 10y agoThe best temperature for a chinchilla is 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Their cage should be in a place that is well-ventilated but not drafty, especially during the summer. They can stand temperatures up to 86 degrees, but any hotter than that could be dangerous. You should avoid direct sunlight. One reason chinchillas can't tolerate heat is because they don't sweat.
